Proverbs (no, NOT religious!)

PROVERBS FROM VIRGINIA FIRST GRADERS

A first grade teacher collected well-known proverbs.
She had twenty-five students in her class, and she presented each
child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked each of them to come
up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first-graders.
Their insight may surprise you. While reading these, keep in
mind that these are first-graders..... 6-year-olds, because the last one
is classic!

And then there's the one from my college yearbook, a couple of millennia ago, which'll probably have the same effect on you now as it did on us back then. Specifically, lying awake all night wondering "Now what the heck did that mean?"

No matter how high a bird flies, you can always break a window with a hammer.
